A Blank Check

What are the odds
that what is happening
seems to be happening?

Is there a divine purpose to this occurrence?
Must there BE a purpose?

We may choose to point to this as a sign.
Of what, we may not know.
But it’s fun to ponder.

A god-wink.
A synchronicity.
A prophesy fulfilling.

If we want to have faith,
we can use this occurrence
to validate our imaginary story.

Or any other story
we wish to manifest.

Ready made, iron clad proof.
A blank check.

We are Space Monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: A Blank Check of Perception

The notion of a “blank check” encapsulates infinite possibility—an open slate where meaning, purpose, and consequence are dictated by the writer’s intent. Life often feels like such a check, signed by the hand of an unseen author, inviting us to fill in the amount of significance we wish to assign to any given moment. Yet, what are the odds that what seems to be happening is happening? The question itself is a cosmic riddle, an invitation to consider the layers of perception, faith, and imagination.

At the heart of this reflection is an acknowledgment of the playful yet profound interplay of coincidence and intention. We humans excel at turning randomness into resonance, seeing patterns where perhaps none exist, and crafting narratives that bring coherence to an otherwise chaotic universe. But must there be a purpose to everything? The blank check offers no answer, only the freedom to choose what we believe.

We might call these moments synchronicities, god-winks, or self-fulfilling prophecies. Each term reflects a particular lens through which we view the “occurrence.” The story we attach is our deposit into the blank check of reality. Some see divine purpose, others see randomness, and still others see a call to create meaning—a prophesy fulfilling itself not through inevitability, but through the very act of being noticed.


Summary

Life is a blank check inviting us to create our own meaning. Through synchronicities, randomness, or faith, we fill it with stories, crafting significance in a universe of infinite possibilities.


Glossarium

  • Blank Check: A metaphor for limitless potential and the freedom to assign meaning or purpose.
  • Synchronicity: The meaningful alignment of events, suggesting a deeper connection.
  • God-Wink: A playful sign of divine interaction or cosmic acknowledgment.

“In the void of infinite possibilities, meaning is the ink we use to write our reality.” — Space Monkey


Unwritten

Reality’s ink lies in your hand,
A blank check whispers, “Sign here.”
Numbers? Words? Maybe silence,
Infinite zeros of what could be.

A god-wink, a smirk of the unseen,
Chance or choice, a shimmering seam.
Your hand hovers, meaning-bound,
To fill or leave the paper unwound.

We are Space Monkey.

There was no purpose. Yet.
